Texas A&M Falls to Liberty in Bryan-College Station Regional upset
Texas A&M Falls to Liberty in Bryan-College Station Regional upset
No. 1-ranked Texas A&M (46-10) fell to Liberty (49-12) on Saturday afternoon on day two of the Bryan-College Station at Davis Diamond.
The Aggies couldn't get any offense going as they struggled to barrel up any pitch off Liberty, keeping them out of sync all game long. The most damage came in the bottom of the second, where they plated four runners, mostly aided by multiple errors by the Lady Flames, taking a 4-0 lead.
Liberty answered back immediately with three runs of their own in the top of the third inning. A&M pushed one more run across the plate in the bottom of the third, but that's where the scoring ended for A&M.
The Lady Flames jumped all over Emiley Kennedy in the top of the sixth inning, pushing across five runs to take an 8-5 lead that lasted through the rest of the game without the Aggies putting up much of a threat.
Texas A&M falls to the loser's bracket and awaits the winner of Marist vs. Saint Francis to play in an elimination game at approximately 6 p.m. CT for a spot in the regional final.

Liberty's Isabelle Harrison sheds reminder of devastating knee injury
We've got you covered on the Liberty beat Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Madeline Kenney about all things Liberty and WNBA. tRY IT NOW For more than a year, Isabelle Harrison wore a bulky brace on her left knee. It was a constant reminder of her surgically repaired torn meniscus that kept her out for the 2023 season. Advertisement 'I hated looking at it,' Harrison said Monday. 'I hated seeing it in pictures; I didn't want to post them on social media. I was just really over it.' Harrison wasn't quite 100 percent last season when she suited up for the Sky. Even at Athletes Unlimited this offseason, Harrison said she was working her way back to full strength. Advertisement 3 Isabelle Harrison makes a move against the Connecticut Sun on May 9, 2025. Getty Images Two weeks ago, though, Harrison felt it was time to take that next step in her healing. Feeling as strong as she felt in years — both physically and mentally — she ditched the brace. She saw it as a sign of not only strength but improvement. Advertisement 3 Isabelle Harrison goes to the basket against the Toyota Antelopes in an exhibition on May 12, 2025. Getty Images 'I just kind of took a leap of faith because sometimes it's physical, but it's also mental,' Harrison said. 'I missed the whole year prior because of that, and I just didn't want to do anything to risk it. But I'm at a point now where … I have been put in a really good program for my weights. 'Taking it off, it was a little scary. I'm not going to lie. When I went to rebound I didn't want to step too far to the left. But again, over time, trusting myself, and it's a process.' Advertisement Harrison already made peace with the fact she'll never be the player she was before her most recent knee injury. Her focus now is on being whatever the Liberty need her to be. The first few weeks of training camp and this season were overwhelming at times for Harrison. The Liberty have numerous layers to their motion offense. And Harrison had never played in a five-out scheme. It took time for her to learn her new teammates' tendencies. But Harrison said she feels more comfortable with what's being asked of her every day. 3 Liberty forward Isabelle Harrison and Shakira Austin jockey for position in the paint on June 5, 2025 in Washington.

'Every day I feel like we layer it more and more and we make it more complex the more we get our chemistry together with everybody. But I've always enjoyed it. I love position-less basketball because you don't get stuck on one side of the floor, you're not looking for one person to score, everybody's pretty much involved and we have the personnel to really do that.'

Myrtle Beach city manager backs Horry County's $8.25M offer to end joint Pelicans Ballpark lease
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — A key Tuesday vote that would give Myrtle Beach total ownership of Pelicans Ballpark is supported by the city's top administrator amid an $8.25 million offer by Horry County in exchange for ending its part of a stadium lease agreement. The facility, which is in need of $20 million in improvements to come into compliance with Major League Baseball standards, is currently 70% owned by the city and 30% by the county. City leaders last month agreed to take on full responsibility and accept $6 million in county to aid to pay down those costs. Since that time, the county has agreed to an even higher, one-time payment with Myrtle Beach being on the hook for all maintenance costs beyond that. The council will also take a final vote on an ordinance with a new 30-year lease agreement between Myrtle Beach and the Pelicans. The lease payment would be $750,000 for the first 10 years, $850,000 for the next 10 years, and $950,000 for the final 10 years. The team's future on the Grand Strand fell in limbo after Horry County leaders approved a different lease agreement than the city previously approved earlier this month. The city expressed disappointment in the county afterward. Pelicans team president Ryan Moore urged fans to attend the meeting — and for councilmembers to approve the deals. 'Tomorrow is do or die for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. A 'Yes' vote keeps the team in town for the next 30 years. A 'No' vote would mean the end for the Pelicans,' he wrote in a post shared on the team's official Facebook page. 'We've cried tears of joy together. We've cried tears of grief together. We've fought through adversity together. And through it all, we have stayed together and are better off for it. All because of the special place we call Pelicans Ballpark.' The city council meeting begins at 10 a.m. * * * Adam Benson joined the News13 digital team in January 2024.

UNC baseball gets Luke Stevenson replacement with transfer portal commitment
UNC baseball gets Luke Stevenson replacement with transfer portal commitment Can UNC's first baseball transfer portal commitment make an immediate impact in 2026? Georgia State transfer catcher Colin Hynek has committed to North Carolina. In 2025, he hit .230 with 18 HRs and 45 RBIs, leading the team in homers and ranking fourth in RBIs and total bases. He had a .586 SLG, .396 OBP, and 36 walks. — Chris Smith (@chrismithunc) June 7, 2025 The UNC baseball team is extremely lucky to have Luke Stevenson behind the dish, but his time in Chapel Hill is likely coming to an end after the current season. Stevenson, mocked to be a first-round pick in July's MLB Draft, is a do-it-all catcher. Stevenson is the Diamond Heels' top power source, mashing 19 home runs, while he's also a defensive stalwart with only two errors. With Stevenson likely gone in 2026, North Carolina needs an answer at catcher. UNC also carries Liberty transfer Macaddin Dye behind the plate, plus Juco transfer Rom Kellis, but wants to add another option. The Diamond Heels are hoping that their latest roster addition is their answer behind the dish. On Saturday, North Carolina secured a commitment from Georgia State transfer Colin Hynek, who started 105 of the 132 games he played in Atlanta. Like Stevenson, Hynek is also a power threat at the plate, mashing 33 home runs and driving in 91 runs across thre seasons. By coming to Chapel Hill, Hynek will have a significantly better shot at competing for a championship. Georgia State just completed a 26-30 campaign and hasn't made the NCAA Tournament since 2009, while UNC is playing in the Super Regional round for a second-consecutive season. If you're following recent transactions across college baseball, there's plenty of transfers already in the portal, particularly from the Virginia Cavaliers. The Diamond Heels will benefit from adding more starting pitching to their 2026 roster, while more hitting power couldn't hurt.
